Rating 70.7

The Links of Lake Bernadette enjoys verdant landscaping and a rolling terrain that are perfectly complemented by mature and towering pines. At 6,400 yards, the golf course is seemingly short but it feels like it plays much longer due to frequent doglegs that can be found throughout. Six of the par 4s play over 400 yards and a few par 3s measure over 200 yards, which also helps the course feel longer. Water hazards and bunkers come into play but they are balanced by large greens and wide fairways that make for easier approaches. Although beginners won't feel out of place and there are four different sets of tees, the golf course boasts several tricky holes that will challenge even the best players. One of these, the 163-yard 13th, was once called the best par 3 in Tampa Bay.

Fun but unplayable Greens

The worst part was I left my $300 Oakley Sunglasses on my cart. I left the grounds and came right back. The cart was washed and put away but NO sunglasses…so a very expensive round.

It was a fun golf course and I would play it again if I could get the same “Hot Deal” otherwise not worth it.

Oh, the greens

As per usual for this point in the season, the greens are not in great shape. Many have bare patches, the 5th having very little grass. I'm sure they'll come back when it starts to rain. But be aware.

Shameful

It’s such a shame to see a fun course in those conditions. It’s been a while since I’ve played there but I have never seen the course in the condition it’s in now. Whoever owns it should either sell it to someone who will put money into it to get it back to playable or man up and do it themselves. Do not waste your money or time playing this course.

Greens

The greens in most holes were in terrible condition, not only lack of grass but holes or large dirt divots which made putts impossible. Course simply needs a lot of work and attention. T boxes were also in bad condition.

This course has its seasons. A few months ago, it was in really good conditions, later came winter with freezing temperatures and it definitely hit this course, as well as others around. However, it definitely is in need of human help as by itself, waiting for the rain to happen, is not working.

Once the rain starts, and high season is over, the course will recover.

This is the course I play the most due to its close distance, and would love to see it back to its prime.

Easy and Workable course

My only concern were the state of the greens. Otherwise this course is a very good workable course. My son and I enjoyed a morning of golf. We arrived earlier and the starter put us on play immediately. I recommend this course and I will play it agian.

Decent deal

Played here multiple team and it has been a good deal for the price point. This time course conditions were a bit worse than before. Greens need a bit more work but rest of the course is fine. Pace is good as well.

Greens are awful

Played this course for 30 years and even though its winter conditions the greens are beyond bad. Mixture of green grass, brown grass and bare dirt areas on almost every green.

Always liked the layout but no fun to play under these conditions. Not to mention the fact of fivesomes going off 10 and starter was told and didnt care.

Nice layout, friendly staff, poor green condition and slow play

The greens are mostly like a bad fairway. Some are better some are just dirt with a flag in the middle. The course layout is fun and some course conditions were solid. Good water and sand features. 5 hour 15 minutes to finish on a Saturday in March. Price is nice but it comes at a cost. Staff and food made it better.
